'''Protestantism''' is one of the three major divisions in [[Christendom]] that traces their heritage back to the [[Western Church]]. Other divisions include [[Catholicism]] and the [[Orthodox Church]].
The founding of Protestantism (another term for Reformed Catholicism) has its origins in the [[European]] [[Reformation]] and its rejection of the doctrines and malpractices within the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. Those included the teaching and sale of [[indulgences]], the buying and selling of church positions and the systemic [[corruption]], devotion to [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|Mary]] and the [[saint]]s rather than inward devotion to faith and God, and rejection of the [[authority]] of the Pope on the basis that the only true authority is the Bible.
